The geometry of L^p-spaces over atomless measure spaces and the Daugavet property
We show that -spaces over atomless measure spaces can be characterized
in terms of a -concavity type geometric property that is related with the
Daugavet property
Spin budget of the proton at NNLO and beyond
We revisit the scale evolution of the quark and gluon spin contributions to the proton spin, 1 2 ΔΣ and ΔG, using the three-loop results for the spin-dependent evolution kernels available in the literature. We argue that the evolution of the quark spin contribution may actually be extended to the four-loop order, and that to all orders a single anomalous dimension governs the evolution of both ΔΣ and ΔG. We present analytical solutions of the evolution equations for ΔΣ and ΔG and investigate their scale dependence both to large and down to lower “hadronic” scales. We find that the solutions remain perturbatively stable even to low scales, where they come closer to simple quark model expectations. We discuss a curious scenario for the proton spin, in which even the gluon spin contribution is essentially scale independent and has a finite asymptotic value as the scale becomes large. We finally also show that perturbative three-loop evolution leads to a larger spin contribution of strange antiquarks than of strange quarks.Fil: de Florian, Daniel Enrique.

THE DAUGAVET EQUATION FOR BOUNDED VECTOR-VALUED FUNCTIONS
[EN] Requirements under which the Daugavet equation and the alternative Daugavet equation hold for pairs of nonlinear maps between Banach spaces are analyzed. A geometric description is given in terms of nonlinear slices. Some local versions of these properties are also introduced and studied, as well as tests for checking whether the required conditions are satisfied in relevant cases.The authors were supported by the Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad (Spain), research project No. MTM2012-36740-C02-02.Brach, S.; Sánchez Pérez, EA.; Werner, D.

Threshold resummation at N LL 3 accuracy and approximate N3LO corrections to semi-inclusive DIS
We advance the threshold resummation formalism for semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS) to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL3) order, including the three-loop hard factor. We expand the results in the strong coupling to obtain approximate next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N3LO) corrections for the SIDIS cross section. In Mellin moment space, these corrections include all terms that are logarithmically enhanced at threshold, or that are constant. We also consider a set of corrections that are suppressed near threshold. Our numerical estimates show modest changes of the cross section by the approximate N3LO terms, suggesting a very good perturbative stability of the SIDIS process.Fil: Abele, Maurizio.

Approximate NNLO QCD corrections to semi-inclusive DIS
We determine approximate next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) corrections to unpolarized and polarized semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering. They are derived using the threshold resummation formalism, which we fully develop to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, including the two-loop hard factor. The approximate NNLO terms are obtained by expansion of the resummed expression. They include all terms in Mellin space that are logarithmically enhanced at threshold, or that are constant. In terms of the customary semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering variables x and zthey include all double distributions (that is, ?plus? distributions and δ functions) in the partonic variables. We also investigate corrections that are suppressed at threshold and we determine the dominant terms among these. Our numerical estimates suggest much significance of the approximate NNLO terms, along with a reduction in scale dependence.Fil: Abele, Maurizio.

The -Daugavet property for function spaces
A natural extension of the Daugavet property for -convex Banach function
spaces and related classes is analysed. As an application, we extend the
arguments given in the setting of the Daugavet property to show that no
reflexive space falls into this class
Approximation of integration maps of vector measures and limit representations of Banach function spaces
[EN] We study whether or not the integration maps of vector measures can be
computed as pointwise limits of their finite rank Radon¿Nikodým derivatives. The positive
cases are obtained by using the circle of ideas related to the approximation property for
Banach spaces. The negative ones are given by means of an appropriate use of the Daugavet
property. As an application, we analyse when the norm in a space L

(m) of integrable
functions can be computed as a limit of the norms of the spaces of integrable functions

Bottom-up control of sardine and anchovy population cycles in the canary current: insights from an end-to-end model simulation
Sardine and anchovy can exhibit dramatic decadal-scale shifts in abundance in
response to climate variability. Sharpe declines of these populations entail particularly
serious commercial and ecological consequences in eastern boundary current ecosystems,
where they sustain major world fisheries and provide the forage for a broad variety of
predators. Understanding the mechanisms and environmental forcing that drive the
observed fish variability remains a challenging problem. The modelling study presented
here provides an approach that bridges a comprehensive database with an end-to-end
modelling framework enabling the investigation of the sources of variability of sardine and
anchovy in the Canary Current System. Different biological traits and behaviour
prescribed for sardine and anchovy gave rise to different distribution and displacements of
the populations, but to a rather synchronous variability in terms of abundance and biomass,
in qualitative agreement with historical landing records. Analysis of years with
anomalously high increase and decline of the adult population points to food availability
(instead of temperature or other environmental drivers) as the main environmental factor
determining recruitment for both sardine (via spawning and survival of feeding age-0
individuals) and anchovy (via survival of feeding age-0). Consistent with this, the two
species thrive under enhanced upwelling-favourable winds, but only up to some threshold
of the wind velocity beyond which larval drift mortality exceeds the positive effect of the
extra food supply. Based on the analysis of the simulation, we found that anchovy larvae are
particularly vulnerable to enhanced wind-driven advection, and as such do better with
more moderate upwelling than sardines.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía Tech
Population distribution and biomass variability of sardine and anchovy in the Canary current system as simulated by an end-to-end coupled model
Small pelagic fishes as sardine and anchovy account for as much as 20-25% of the world fisheries catch. They are particularly abundant in the four major eastern boundary upwelling ecosystems, where high levels of biological productivity are sustained by the supply of nutrient-rich water from beneath the photic zone. An intrinsic and puzzling feature of small pelagic fish is the large fluctuations of their population, typically occurring at decadal scales. The causes for such fluctuations have been
extensively analyzed and discussed in the literature, yet our understanding of the mechanism
involved is very limited. End-to-end models are emerging tools useful to test hypothesis for such fish population variability or to gain new insights into the problem. This comprehensive and complex model approach is now becoming possible largely thanks to the present-day computer power.
This contribution focuses on the population dynamics of sardine (Sardina pilchardus) and anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) in the Canary Current Upwelling Ecosystem. We describe and present the results of an end-to-end coupled model simulation including these two small pelagic species. The end-to-end application includes three model components: the ROMS circulation sub-model, the lower trophic ecosystem sub-model NEMURO, and a recently developed individual-based model for the fish (Rose et al. 2015; Fiechter et al. 2015). The computational grid for the three models covers NW Africa and the Western Iberian Peninsula at a spatial resolution of 12 km. This resolution is sufficient for certain eddy variability to occur in ROMS. Different biological traits were prescribed for anchovy and sardine: temperature optimum, diet preferences, and the onset and duration of the spawning season, among others. A hind-cast simulation of the period 1958-2007 was carried out.
Model results reveal a fairly different behavior of sardine and anchovy. Anchovies gather off the
northern part of Morocco and the Gulf of Cadiz, whereas sardines appear more scattered across the
domain, further offshore, and further south, where upwelling favorable conditions take place year
round. Both species exhibit decadal-scale fluctuations in both the location of the center of mass of the population and their biomass abundance; the latter being reasonably correlated with historical landing records.Universidad de Málaga.

Physical Demands of Top-class Soccer Assistant Refereeing During High-standard Matches
This study examined the physical demands experienced by top-class assistant referees during high-standard football matches. Computerized match analyses and heart rate recordings were performed on 18 international assistant referees during the FIFA Confederations Cup 2005. Total distance covered averaged 5752+/-554 m, of which 34% was covered at a high-intensity (>13 km.h (-1)). Sidewards movements represented 30% of total match distance. Both total distance (r=0.67; P<0.01) and high-intensity activities (r=0.52; P<0.05) were related to the displacements of the ball in the same match. The distance covered by high-speed running in this tournament was 255% greater (P<0.001) than that covered during the under-17 World Championship 2003. Mean heart rate during the game was 140+/-11 b.min (-1) (78+/-4% HR (max)). Mean heart rate during a 5-min interval of the match was related in part (r=0.31; P<0.001) to the amount of high-intensity activities performed within the same match-period. The results of this study show that the physical demands imposed on assistant referees are influenced by the movements of the ball and the standard of the competition
